What Was Your First Big Purchase After Separating or Retiring?

Bought my wife a new chevy trailblazer.

A brand new wardrobe from Nordstrom to wear Job hunting.

Camping gear. I wanted to see the beautiful country that my brothers and sisters in uniform and myself fought to protect.

A living room suite

When I got back from deployment I bought my crosstrek and I've had it for 8 years now. Almost at 100k miles.

My first big purchase was a laptop and a train ticket to Virginia to explore the scenery

We bought a house in Cleveland Tn. big enough for some of our family to move in to take care of me.

I bought a used older honda as my car was in a head on crash 4 days before I reported for duty to be sent overseas . May car was totalled by the insurance company while I was in Germany. I had to fight the drunk driver that hit me in small claims court to have him pay off the remainder of my car note as I was on the hook for that. I also was without a car now. Luckily being a conflict zone I was able to save money so I could manage both upon my return.
